Devin Booker of the Suns can now officially call himself the “Best NBA Player at 2K”. The 23-year old NBA All-Star shooting guard defeated his Suns teammate, DeAndre Ayton, in a two-game Finals sweep in the NBA 2K20 NBA ‘Players Only’ Tournament. The victory, which was played on the Xbox One console and broadcasted on ESPN, earned him a $100,000 charity donation in his name to support Corona Virus relief efforts. Clippers teammates, Montrezl Harrell and the ever showman and trash-talking Patrick Beverley, were both defeated in the final four.
“I said in the beginning that it was going to be Deandre and I in the championship — and that’s the way it ended up,” said Booker.
